Simplification and lights
So, I've been simplifying my approach, which is something I should have been doing a long time ago. Anyway, so I'm fleshing out my light source routines. I've got some light sources now that are connected to the agents, and follow the agent around when they move. These are simple fill lights and do not cast shadows; which will be replaced with actual light ray lights when I get to it. I've already got a few

I'm not sure why your off-by-one is happening here. Yes, ideally you'd use the distance from the center to the center, but that's the same distance as the corner to the corner. It should come out the same.
Ah, well, I've already fixed it. It was a simple off-by-one error in a nested loop. I'll post a new picture tomorrow, probably.
That picture brings back memories of recovery missions when I forgot to buy electroflares, leading to massive losses of squadies even after deciding to withdraw. Happened more times than it should have. Fun times.
